Criminal

criminal legal skills for Germany

German criminal procedure divides responsibility sharply between the Staatsanwaltschaft, which holds the investigative initiative and decides whether to bring a public charge, and the Strafgerichte — from the Amtsgericht through the Landgericht to the Bundesgerichtshof — whose jurisdiction depends on the severity of the offence and the sentence likely to be imposed. That structural division shapes every task in German criminal practice: advising a client under investigation, responding to a Durchsuchungsbeschluss, filing a Beschwerde against pre-trial detention, or preparing submissions for the Hauptverhandlung. The criminal law legal skills for Germany in the ThomasMore catalog are built around those procedural realities, covering defence work, prosecutorial analysis, white-collar and corporate liability, asset forfeiture, and sentencing under the Strafgesetzbuch and Strafprozessordnung.

Each skill is agent-ready, executable over MCP or available as a download, so a practitioner can run a custodial-threshold analysis, draft a Revisionsbegründung structure, or map disclosure obligations without rebuilding the logic from scratch. The open-source contributions in the ThomasMore catalog are maintained as German federal and Länder criminal procedure evolves and as the Bundesgerichtshof refines doctrine on corporate criminal exposure and digital evidence. Whether you act for the defence, advise an in-house team on internal investigations, or work alongside prosecutors, filter by license or author to locate the capability your matter requires.
